Weltschmerz [vɛltʃmɛʁts] - Profound despair felt about the inadequacy of the world, arising from comparison of the actual state of the world with an ideal state With their excellent live reputation which brought them to festivals like FortaRock, Weltschmerz '89 was recorded live (!) at Wisseloord Studios and produced by Grammy-nominated Attie Bauw (Judas Priest / De Staat) who claims, "they are the loudest band I ever recorded, and believe me, I've recorded many." Combining a multitude of influences from Turbonegro and Iron Maiden to early-Soilwork and Dillinger Escape Plan, Weltschmerz '89 is an in-your-face collection of pure rock-'n'-roll: aggressive and dark, yet more genuine and addictive than ever. Looking for the quick fix to your Weltschmerz? Fuck those tears, grab your leather jacket, and walk your boots straight through that door.
